The current top rated Ikaruga Xbox Live Arcade player has directed a white and black laser beam of hate at the Treasure remake, calling the Arcade version "a horrible port".The Japanese player, Gamertag Kingoro58k, put up with the port long enough to get to the number one slot, but writes on his Gamertag bio (in Japanese): "The XBLA version of Ikaruga is a horrible port. This isn't Ikaruga, this is Ikaruga LOL."Apparently, ...

It's Saturday and that means gamesite XGN posts her weekly European Xbox Live Marketplace Roundup. Unfortunately it's not a big list like last week!
Here is the XBOX Live Marketplace Update for Thursday 10th April 2008:
DarkZero Writes: "Early morning at DZ Tower's and we were just checking on XBLA to see if Ikaruga appeared yet, and it seems it has, with the download weighing in at 49.39MB.
Microsoft today announced that Treasure's arcade shooter Ikaruga is slated for a release this Wednesday on April 9, as was listed on Xbox Japan last month.
VG247: According to Treasure's site, Ikaruga's going to be published on XBLA this Wednesday. If you don't know, this means you should definitely buy it, although we say that with some caveats after the fiasco that was Mr Driller Online. Still, great news.
VG247: 360Sync's reporting that Rocky and Bullwinkle will be available for download on April 16 from XBLA for 800 MS Points.
Ikaruga is a vertical shooter which was originally developed for the arcades before being ported to the Dreamcast and eventually the Nintendo GameCube. It is currently being re-worked for a release on the Xbox Live Arcade.
"It seems the April issue of Official Xbox Magazine has some information about the highly anticipated XBLA release Ikaruga. Specifically, it sounds like the game will be coming out very soon, as the magazine notes the game is already available with a graphic that reads "Out Now." It doesn't get much clearer than that. Unfortunately, given the nature of magazine lead times (people get April issues in March, etc.) it's hard to say exactly when Ikaruga will show up, but it's probably safe to say it should be out before the end of April. Oh, and for what it's worth, OXM gave Ikaruga a 9 out of 10, so things are looking up.
MS has announced that 3 Classic Dreamcast games will be making there way to XBLA, Rez, Ikaruga and Triggerheart Exelica.
